I know that these ramifications would probably never hit in my lifetime, but, God forbid I have a son, I want the razor to have no real complications over it's lifetime... The longer you hone with...

Glen, the point in there, to my knowledge, is just an illusion caused by the ink on the blade... That being said, I still took the dremel and rounded it off, just to nip any problems in the bud.

Alright, one last question before I weigh into this thing for the long haul.

I'll be blunt: I'm 18, so I don't have much arm hair to start with, what I started with was already fine hair, and I've...

It's not that I wanted to avoid the rolling X, but I just wanted to get the circles to work, since they are easiest IMO, and the method I learned...

I don't move off of the 1k until it passes the...

For some reason, and I have no clue why... No matter what stroke I use, or how well it performs with marker and thumbnail tests, I just can't shave armhair off of the 1k without staying ON the 1k for...

Also, I gave up on circles and went to a rolling X. It's working fine... I was just hoping there was some way to get this blade to work without a rolling X... It doesn't really matter that much, it's...

The two halves of that sentence mean pretty much exactly what I said... for some reason I have trouble creating a clean bevel swiftly (except for some blades, but that's the exception, not the...

Heres my question: If I just stick with the circles for a long time, will it remove enough metal to smooth it out, or will that not work? Do I have to find a varied stroke that fits the bill?

Here are pictures of the problem... From the middle down where it's darkened, that's the marker... dunno how visible it is.. Sorry

Any other angles you need?

Fairly crappy camera, but I'll try

Hone wear is fairly light and pretty even (and it is wearing where the marker won't remove from, if that helps)

I /hate/ using tape (just for personal OCD Bevel angle reasons) so no, I don't

So, If you know anything about my honing, you will know that I can constantly put out great shaving razors, but that I also take HOURS to set a bevel (3-7 hours on average)

Well, I would really...
